       4. The skull mounting system of  claim 3 ,
 wherein lengths of the plurality of upper headband sections overlap, and 
 the plurality of upper headband sections form a coherent upper headband. 
 
     
     
       5. The skull mounting system of  claim 1 , wherein, when not being worn, the front headband forms a concave arch at least in areas that are configured for directly or indirectly contacting lateral sides of the head of the wearer when being worn. 
     
     
       6. The skull mounting system of  claim 1 , wherein the front headband is configured so that at least one of a convex arch and a concave arch of the front headband is deformed with a reduction in arching, when forces act in a longitudinal direction on the front headband. 
     
     
       7. The skull mounting system of  claim 1 , wherein the front headband is configured so that at least part of the front headband does not contact the head of the wearer in a temple area when being worn. 
     
     
       8. The skull mounting system of  claim 7 ,
 wherein an inside of the front headband in a back offset area is at least partially backset, and 
 the front headband in the back offset area has lesser flexibility than in areas adjacent thereto. 
 
     
     
       9. The skull mounting system of  claim 1 , wherein the rear headband is connected to the front headband by swivel joints. 
     
     
       10. The skull mounting system of  claim 9 , wherein the swivel joints are lockable in a plurality of rotational positions. 
     
     
       11. The skull mounting system of  claim 1 , wherein the front headband has end sections extending in a direction of the back of the head, when the headband is worn, beyond a connection point at which the front headband is connected to the rear headband. 
     
     
       12. The skull mounting system of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the at least one upper headband is guided through connection slits in the front headband, and 
 the at least one upper headband is clamped into the connection slits in the front headband such that a length of the at least one upper headband is adjustable by loosening the clamping and sliding a portion of the at least one upper headband through the connection slits. 
 
     
     
       13. The skull mounting system of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the front headband includes front connection devices configured for connection to the headgear in an area on temples of the wearer when being worn, which extend upward, and 
 the front headband includes rear connection devices configured for connection to the headgear arranged in an area of end sections of the front headband, the end sections extending in a direction of the back of the head, when the headband is worn, beyond a connection point at which the front headband is connected to the rear headband. 
 
     
     
       14. The skull mounting system of  claim 1 , wherein the front headband has rear connection devices formed as longitudinal slits and configured for connection to the headgear. 
     
     
       15. The skull mounting system of  claim 14 , wherein a connection of the rear connection devices to the headgear is movable within the longitudinal slits. 
     
     
       16. The skull mounting system of  claim 1 , wherein the skull mounting system comprises the headgear. 
     
     
       17. The skull mounting system of  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of recesses are arranged on the front headband, the plurality of recesses extending in the longitudinal direction along a portion of the front headband, and the plurality of recesses being configured for increasing flexibility of the front headband in a vertical direction. 
     
     
       18. A skull mounting system for headgear, the skull mounting system comprising a headband that includes:
 a front headband and a rear headband, the front headband configured for extending around at least a front of a head of a wearer of the skull mounting system and the rear headband configured for arrangement on a back of the head of the wearer; and 
 at least one upper headband configured for extending over a top of the head of the wearer, 
 wherein the at least one upper headband has a higher elasticity than the front headband and a higher elasticity than the rear headband, and 
 when not being worn, the front headband has a cross-sectional profile including a convex arch configured for facing a forehead of the wearer when being worn, the profile extending in a longitudinal direction along a portion of the front headband that is configured for facing the forehead of the wearer when being worn. 
 
     
     
       19. The skull mounting system of  claim 18 , wherein the at least one upper headband comprises rubber-elastic. 
     
     
       20. A skull mounting system for headgear, the skull mounting system comprising a headband that includes:
 a front headband and a rear headband, the front headband configured for extending around at least a front of a head of a wearer of the skull mounting system and the rear headband configured for arrangement on a back of the head of the wearer; and 
 at least one upper headband configured for extending over a top of the head of the wearer, 
 wherein the at least one upper headband has a higher elasticity than the front headband and a higher elasticity than the rear headband,
